With the days getting shorter and the need to occasionally wear a jumper, the countdown is on until the ski season. This year Cardrona opens on the 20th June and the fun does not stop until the 5th of October. Treble Cone gets going on the 26th June and is operating till the 28th of September.
Skiing with the family is such a rewarding holiday and we are very lucky in Wanaka to have two fantastic ski fields plus the Snow Farm for those that like to get the heart beat really going with a spot of cross country skiing. All three ski fields are about a leisurely 40 minutes drive from Wanaka. You are able to hire all your equipment on the hill itself or from one of the shops in town who specialize in rental equipment. If you would like to split your time between the fields, consider getting a One Pass www.onepassnz.com
The ski fields close at 4pm, which is a great time to make your way back to the lodge and slip into the hot tub whilst someone else lights the fire. A quick shower in your own ensuite room and a change and you should make it back to the lounge in time to get a good position on a comfy sofa. From here- if you have played your cards right- a glass of red wine and a cheese board should be within reach whilst the log fire works its magic. Your ski gear will now be hanging in the drying room ready for tomorrow!
The lodge is well set up to have dinners in-house, with a large table that has heard many a story. If you wish, caterers can come in and cook up a feast. Another option is Lonestar Restaurant found just 250m away; this building also houses a boutique cinema and a climbing wall if you fancy a day off the slopes.
Many of our previous guests love the fact we are 2 minutes from town yet have lots of privacy and space. We are fortunate that we get a lot of groups booking their next years' Wanaka ski holiday on their departure, so you will need to get in early to secure your dates!
If you are thinking of a ski holiday this year in beautiful Wanaka, please get in touch.

Awaiting the next snowy season?
Skis all waxed, ski gear ready to go? Some of us just live for the snow, and some of us don’t. Keep everyone happy when you stay at Mountain Range Boutique Lodge.
The proximity of our luxurious lodge to the ski fields is most excellent. With Treble Cone and Cardrona a mere 30-40 minute drive from the Lodge, and the bases of Coronet Peak or The Remarkables ski fields in Queenstown only an hour away, the choices are endless!
You could also leave the adults or teenagers who are not interested in the snow at home in the comfort of the lodge. A 20-minute stroll into the town center, or indoor climbing wall and Ruby’s boutique cinema just across the road, there is something to entertain everyone. Complimentary wireless, a huge DVD collection, Sky TV, board games, hot tub, complimentary mountain bikes to explore Wanaka and the surrounds with, and a glorious relaxing Lodge to lounge in. There will be no complaints.
After your day on the snow you know you will find a park right outside the Lodge. You can drop your ski gear in the drying room and snuggle up in front of the roaring fire, or head out to the hot tub to soothe those happy aching muscles from their wonderful day skiing/snowboarding. There is a beautiful modern kitchen and huge rimu dining table to gather the troops and create a great dinner to re-vitalise the muscles for more snow action tomorrow.
We have some fantastic package deals available for the winter. If you stay with us on one of our private ski package deals, NZ Snow Tours will take care of your groups’ entire ski or snowboard needs.
Alternatively we have a beautiful wine and cheese board package available for those who book for 5 or more nights at the lodge in either July or September.
The perfect winter escape is an escape to Mountain Range Boutique Lodge. See you for some snow!
